By the time you get to Feint Praise, with its Motown basslines and Stax/soul phrasings, you’re aware that Bell X1 have released the best album of their career. Chop Chop? Hurry up – a superb album this way comes.

As the album title hints, the songs were recorded in quick, live takes and condensed rather than stretched unnecessarily. This all works to the greater good and marks Chop Chop as a triumph of substance over sophistication.
